STOP AND WASTE COCK.

v SPECIFICATION forming .part of VLetters Patent No. 292,824, datedFebruary 5, 1884.

Application tiled August 2, 1883. (No modeLl .To all wiz/0m, it mayconcern.-

Be-it'known that I, JOHN H. KENNEDY, of

Cleveland, in the county of Y Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Stop and Vaste Cocks; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit pertains to make` anduse the same.

My invention relates to improvements in stop and waste cocks; and itconsists in certain features of construction, and in combination ofparts, hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, Fig. 2 a plan view, andFig. 3 a vertical sectional'view, of a stop and waste cock embody ing myinvention.

A represents the body of the valve, threaded at each end to receive apipe, and with a small orifice through the proj ectioira, through whichwater may be drained from Jrhe pipes.

Bis the plug or valve proper, secured below, in the usual lmanner, by anut and washer.

C is a cap that fits the upper end of the valve, and may be securedthereto by a pin, screw, or other suitable fastening.

C is an arm projecting from the cap C, and turning downward, as shown,and, when in position on the part B, engages in either direction thestops aand a2, (shown on the part A.) The cap G terminates above in apart squared or attened to engage a removable key or other suitabledevice. It will be seen that when the cap is removed the plug B may berevolved' without any hinderance in the process of grinding in thevalve; also, the part G may be made of Ymalleable iron or other cheapermaterial than the valve is made of, thereby considerably reducing thecost. The internal construction i's similar to other valves of thisclass. The valve, as'shown in Fig. 3, is closed, and in this position,by means of the orifice b, theV pipes atthe left hand of the valve maybe drained, the water passing through the valve B and out of the orificeat a.

` I am aware it is not new to provide a valvecasing withlaterally-projecting lugs and a valve to the upper end of which isremovably secured a lever provided with a downwardlyprojecting arm,which latter rests between the lugs on the valve-casing, and hence Imake no claim thereto; but What I claim is- The combination,'with thevalve-body constrncted as described, and provided with thelaterally-projecting stops and a plug-valve, of the'cap adapted tobe'removably secured t0 the projecting end of the plug-valve, andprovided with an angular upper end for the attachment of a removable keyor other suitable device, and with an arm, C, all of the above partscombined and adapted to operate as described.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification, in the presence of twowitnesses, this 26th day of July, 1883.
